Sumona Chakravarti, known for her role on “The Kapil Sharma Show,” has spoken out about being hurt by jokes made about her appearance, particularly focusing on her lips. Kapil Sharma, the host of the show, often pokes fun at Sumona’s physical attributes, leading her to feel insecure and conscious of her lips.
During a conversation with Habit Coach, Sumona shared her experience, stating that the jokes affected her deeply. She recalled an incident where Kapil forgot his lines and instead used the opportunity to make fun of her mouth and lips. Being unable to come up with spontaneous funny remarks like a stand-up comedian, she felt hurt by the comments.
Sumona’s portrayal of Kapil’s on-screen wife has made her a frequent target for jokes on the show. Many viewers have criticized the show as being misogynistic due to these reasons. The constant jibes caused Sumona to grow insecure and even stop applying red lipstick for a period of time.
Archana Puran Singh, who replaced Navjot Singh Sidhu as a judge on the show, provided support and advice to Sumona during this challenging period. Archana encouraged her to embrace self-laughter and not feel humiliated by the jokes. Regarding the remarks about her lips, Archana pointed out that some women actually pay money to achieve similar features.
Sumona also addressed fan comments questioning why she continues to be a part of the show. She explained that she has come to terms with the fact that it is a scripted performance and not a reflection of her true appearance. Recognizing her own attractiveness, she stated, “I am a decent looking girl, and I have a nice mouth.”
By sharing her experience, Sumona Chakravarti sheds light on the emotional impact that jokes and comments about one’s physical appearance can have, emphasizing the importance of sensitivity and respect in comedy.
